You have not provided proof of sufficient means of subsistence, for the duration of the intended stay or for the return to the country of origin or residence, or for the transit to a third country into which you are certain to be admitted, or you are not in a position to acquire such means lawfully.

Your intention to leave the territory of the Member States before the expiry of the visa applied for could not be ascertained.

I've submitted my friend's VU2 filled form where my friend mentioned that he will cover my all expenses during my stay in Norway. excempt bank statement i have submitted my international debit card where i get my wages all time but visa officer asked me that whether i can provide my expenses in bank or not! and i answered that i can't because i dont use bank as my all earning is comes from abroad.

I've submitted my marriage certificate but have not included my child birth certificate.

Also i have submitted flight booking other papers they needs.

As a designer i creates apparel designs for my Norwegian friend's brand and i am going to Norway to meet with him and research more way to develop his grown clothing brand by my designs.

I have submitted our skype conversation's 30 page print out too. But i go refused and they mentioned that my case is automatically appealed to Danish Immigration Service and i have to contact with them.

Than i have contacted with danish immigration service and submitted my child birth certificate and our family photos.

But already 6 months is over but till have not get their decision yet.

Does that mean you will get through immigration, or be sent back on the next flight? Or does immigration not care, provided the passport is still valid?

The answer is that it all depends on your passport, and your destination:

Some countries have a strict 6-month validity rule in place. If your passport expires within 6 months of your date of arrival you will be turned away at immigration, if not before at your departure airport. These include: Thailand, India, Sri Lanka, UAE, Brazil, Ecuador, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Paraguay, Tunisia, Romania, Singapore and surprisingly, Belgium.

Other countries enforce a 3-month rule. These include: Cambodia, Denmark, Fiji, Switzerland, South Africa, New Zealand, Croatia and Estonia

Many countries however require only a valid passport for the duration of your stay. Among these are: Kenya, Tanzania, France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Cyprus, Malta, UK and USA.

There are some exceptions: EU citizens only ever need a valid passport, regardless of date, to travel in other EU countries. US citizens need only a driving license or valid passport to enter Canada, Mexico, Bahamas and any US overseas territories such as Puerto Rico.

For any other nationalities: rather than risk travelling with a passport that will expire in 6 months or less, you are strongly advised to get your passport renewed or get an emergency passport before travel.

Last-minute passport renewalsIt is generally possible to get an emergency passport issued within two weeks or less, although it will cost you. In the US this is called an expedited renewal. Brian Clucas of VisaHQ says that a regular application can be processed within 4-6 days while expedited passport applications generally can be obtained within 2-3 days.

Clucas reminds applicants that if you posses a current passport that has, or will soon expire this will help - as opposed to a lost, or mutilated passport. In addition, applying for a replacement passport during holiday or high travel seasons, such as summer may cause a delay in the processing.

Children and passportsDifferent rules apply to children when renewing passports. Kestutis Gregeris of TravelVisaPro says that there is no renewal service for minors (children under 16). They must follow first time passport procedure until they turn 16. Another important problem is that passports for children are valid only for 5 years, whereas passport for adults are good for 10 years. Gregeris has encountered more than one situation where parents did not realize that their passport is valid for more time than their childrens  and the trip never got past the departure airport.

One should also remember that US citizens must have a valid passport regardless of age. Even new born babies must have their own passport  kids cannot travel on their parents passport. Check with your consulate to see if similar rules apply to your nationality.

Name changes and passportsGregeris says that at TravelVisaPro their staff frequently find that people who get married or divorced, and change their name, forget to change the name on a valid passport. They then book a ticket under their new name, but their passport is still under the old name. The result is that the passenger will be unable to fly. Gregeris advises that if your passport is valid for long time, book the ticket under your old name as it appears on the passport. In this case, you can use that passport until it expires and save some money.

Finally, should you apply yourself or use an agency for this purpose?

It comes down to time and money  and how much of each you have available. If you are prepared to complete your own forms, physically go to the passport renewal office and queue, then doing it yourself will save you money. However, if youre in a rush, or dont have the time or patience, then using a reputable visa agency might be the way to go.

Brian Clucas of VisaHQ says that overall using a passport expediting service can certainly have its benefits. The agent handling your application will be aware of things to look out for and will be able to help organize your information and documentation accordingly. In addition, their experience and familiarity with the entire process is much like having an expert on your side. They can also ensure that expedited applications are processed in a timely fashion, which is critical when travel plans leave no time for anything left to chance. Such services are often worthwhile just for the peace of mind they deliver.

Kestutis Gregeris of TravelVisaPro says that if travellers use agencies they must ensure passport replacement insurance is offered. If you misplace your passport or it gets lost in the mail, we will replace the passport free of our service charges. This provides extra insurance and safety when people mail us their documents.

Some other important points to note: Even when a countrys published rules state otherwise, you may encounter problems from uninformed immigration or airline officials when your passport has less than 6 months left to run. Many tour package operators wont even take a booking unless you have 6 months validity remaining on your passport. Several accounts suggest that many countries won't issue you a visa in advance of travel if there is less than six months to go on your passport. Most Arab or Middle Eastern countries will refuse entry to you if you have an Israeli stamp in your passport. Apply for a new one if this is the case. Gregeris advises: Get a second passport and use one to travel to Arab countries and one to Israel. Remember however that second passports are valid only for two years. Passports must have sufficient blank pages in  if yours is full you can apply to have new pages inserted.For more information see:

Online Travel scamshttp://forum.wordtravels.com/discussion/7163/online-travel-scams
Thu, 02 Jun 2011 10:11:57 +0000World WideAnya K7163@/discussionsThese are the questions people are being forced to ask. Its heartbreaking. Honest people are taken advantage of every day by 419 scams that prey on their vulnerabilities and trusting natures. Weve seen literally hundreds of people on our forums who have fallen victim to these scams. They come here to warn others, or to see if theyve been fooled, but the stories rarely have a happy ending.

It happens like this:

Divorced and lonely, you take a chance on a dating website, and there he is, a good and kind Christian man who talks to you daily and wants nothing more than to build a life with you. Unfortunately, hes currently in Nigeria on a work contract and has run into some difficulty buying his plane ticket home, so could you just lend him $1,000...

Or it happens like this:

Youre toiling away at a low-paying job, when youre offered a great job and an even better salary for a contract working for a company in London. Its all so perfect with accommodation, meals, transport, everything included so you can send all your money home to your family. All you need to do is send them $500 for the application fee...

Or even like this:

Doing on online search for puppies to adopt, you meet a sweet woman from Cameroon whos got a litter of English Bulldogs that she wants to send to good homes. Theyre free, of course because they dont want to make money from this and all you need to pay is the airport fees, which suddenly triple when the puppies are stuck at Douala Airport...

The scenarios described above, including the Job Scam, Nigerian Love Scam, Russian Girlfriend Scam, Sufficient Travel Funds Scam, and Cameroon Puppy Scam, are the most common scams we come across. There are many others though, including the Friend in Distress: You get a Facebook message or email from a friend who says hes been robbed in a foreign country and needs you to send him money. He provides you with Western Union details. In reality your friend is sitting at home, unaware his account has been hacked.

------------------------------------------------------

Warning Signs You're Being Scammed Online

There are several warning signs that someone you met online is trying to scam you. The most common are:

- Poor spelling and grammar.- Failure to send pictures on request or video chat.- Having a thick African or Pakistani accent despite claims of being from the US or UK.- Forming an online relationship that becomes serious quickly while they claim to be working abroad.- Claiming to represent a company while using a Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo email address.- Asking for money from you, a person they barely know and have never met.- Insisting money be sent via Western Union or other money order.

These are just a few of the warning signs youre being scammed, and the last is the most important. Even if their reason sounds legitimate, why would they ask you for money? If its for a business there should be back-up funds available. If its personal then they surely have friends or family that can help them.

------------------------------------------------------

The Truth About Sufficient Travel Funds Scams

As a travel website, it may seem odd that weve come to be an authority on Nigerian 419 scams, but the basis of most these scams is the convoluted world of visa fees, airport taxes, and work permits. These are confusing things, with a lot of misinformation out there. Very few people outside of the travel industry really know anything about these fees. There are several constant guidelines you can be sure of, however:

- Visas are checked and issued upon arrival, not departure. If a person doesnt need to apply for a visa in advance, then they will get it when their plane lands.- Passengers are not required to carry cash. There is no airline, and no country, that requires passengers to have a sufficient funds before they can board a plane.- There is almost never a situation in which cash is needed to buy a plane ticket.

------------------------------------------------------

How to Protect Yourself from Being Scammed

If you think youre caught up in a scam but arent quite ready to write the person off, there are measures you can take to protect yourself. Always verify their story from a third party, but NOT a third party that they put you in touch with. If they need to pay the Ghana Aviation Authority, then phone the Ghana Aviation Authority. If they need money for a UK visa, phone the UK embassy in their country. In the case of stories like the Cameroon Puppy Scam, when goods are stuck at a border insist on seeing official documentation with itemised invoices. Border control in any country will provide these documents.

Never send a money order to a person you dont know. Theres a reason scammers use Western Union: its non-refundable. Once they have your money theres no way to get it back. If you decide to give someone money, insist on using Paypal or another verified service so you have recourse to get your money back if it turns out to be a scam.

You should always be wary when someone asks for money online, no matter what the situation. Even though we want to be able to trust people, we all need to protect ourselves from those that would take advantage.]]>

Well being a mother I could not stand the thought of that happening so I sent money. Then I start putting things together, like the fact that neither one of them will give me a home address or anything that I can verify, I sent the money 150 miles from where she goes to school, he told me that the head mistress from the school was calling and wanting tuition and he told me her name but would not have her call me so I could talk to her. The reason for that was because the name he gave me was noone who even works at the school....I called. He told me stuff like he had never meet anyone that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with and I thought what about your dead wife. Then his daughter started calling me mom and told me that she was so happy to have a mother's love that she has never had before and I thought what about your dead mother. This guys name is Scott Jackson and his daughters name is Karina. I let him know that I knew he was a scam and that this bank was closed for business.
Please beware of any person who tells you they love you too quickly, who has you talking to their child with in a week, who writes the most beautiful things you think they should work for Hallmark, if they will not give you a phone number or address that you can verify, if they ask for money or ask if they can send you a large check because they have noone else to send it to, if they tell you that money is no object to them but there is always a reason they cannot get to their money, if they tell you they have a webcam but it is broke (if money is no object why is it not fixed?), if you ask questions and they talk around it or change the subject, or they contact you on IM instead of the dating site. If they contact you this way tell them that you would like to talk but on the website. Scammers don't like the websites because of the security on them.

Tue, 17 Aug 2010 17:28:57 +0000World Widemathieu4411@/discussionsGet the best exchange rates - shop around to avoid rip-off bank fees and terrible exchange rates

Having just returned from a couple of weeks in Italy, I thought Id see how badly I had been ripped off at the airport when buying Euros.

I used the Travelex kiosk at Heathrow, but the exchange rates were similar to other foreign exchange companies - £100 bought around 1.10, but when selling Euros the rate was about 1.30. This spread is basically their profit margin  the publish exchange rate is currently 1.20  and this spread is much wider for less popular currencies such as Egyptian pounds, Thai Baht or South African Rands.

The guy at Travelex was kind enough to tell me give him cash rather than paying with my debit card  otherwise Lloyds bank would have charged another 3 percent on top. I was changing £300 into Euros, so I saved £9 simply by using the cash machine next to the kiosk. The Travelex fee was effectively £30, and I would have saved this if I had been prepared and shopped around before getting to the airport.

Lesson 1: Never exchange money at the airport  you are a captive customer at an airport or ferry terminal and pay for the convenience of exchanging cash there  to get the best exchange rates you simply need to book your currency online and either get it delivered or pick it up from a kiosk at the airport or at your bank, post office or other provider. The Travelex rate for pre-booked money is currently 1.18.

I have now been through my bank statement to see what rate I got at the cash machines in Italy  I have a Lloyds Mastercard, although I believe these rates are fairly typical. The exchange rate is not too bad  1.16, but the bank also charges a cash advance fee of £3.76  so on top of the 3-4% spread they made on the transaction they charged me the additional 3 percent fee. Apparently you can find these details in very small print on the bank charges paperwork.

Lesson 2: If you must use your card abroad, make sure you buy things directly with it; dont use cash machines.

Another little-known rip-off is this: when making big purchases in overseas shops, and sometimes when taking cash out of machines in the wall, you may be asked if youd like to pay in pounds or Euros. Usually the retailers exchange rate will be even worse than your own card.

Lesson 3: To get the best exchange rates, always reject offers to pay in the local currency with your debit or credit card.

Many companies are now offering travel currency cards  these are one of the best ways to exchange money at the best rates or take money abroad. They offer some of the best exchange rates and they dont add a cash advance fee or similar load which you can get on your standard credit or debit card and can be safer than cash. These cards shouldnt be used in the UK as interest rates are higher than on normal cards, and they generally also charge an extra fee for using cash machines - so use them for direct purchases where possible. As with all credit cards, you should set up a direct debit to pay off the card every month, but note that some cards charge an extortionate interest rate on cash withdrawals even if paid off in full at the end of the month.

Final advice on getting the best exchange rates and avoiding rip-off bank charges: either pre-book your currency at least 4 hours before you arrive at the airport, or if you travel regularly get a currency card.

The following reputable companies offer pre-booked currency which can be delivered to your door in the United Kingdom: Crown Currency Exchange, Tesco, The Post Office, Marks and Spencer and Travelex.

The following providers offer currency cards: Halifax, Nationwide, Santander Zero, Post Office and Lloyds TSB.]]>

Do Cruise Passengers Need Tourist/Transit Visas?http://forum.wordtravels.com/discussion/7195/do-cruise-passengers-need-tourist-transit-visas
Thu, 09 Jun 2011 14:24:34 +0000World Widedavidc7195@/discussionsSo, do you need a visa for your upcoming cruise?

This is one of the most commonly asked travel questions, both on the Word Travels forum, and the Internet at large. Unfortunately, it is a question with a thousand possible answers, depending on:

What nationality are the passengers? Which countries are they visiting? Are they disembarking the cruise ship at the various ports of call? Or simply transiting through?

All these considerations must be taken into account. What follows, here, is a rough guide to making sure that  when planning your cruise vacation  you stay informed and on top of the visa requirements for your trip. It is vital to remember that cruise companies ultimately will not accept responsibility for ensuring that your travel documentation is in order  it is your responsibility to keep abreast of your own visa requirements.

Passport validity

Firstly, before the issue of visas is addressed, it is almost certain that you will need to be in possession of a valid passport in order to undertake your cruise. While historically it has been possible for some passengers (chiefly US or Canadian citizens) to undertake cruises with some other form of photo identity on them  increasingly, it is becoming mandatory for all cruise line passengers to carry a passport. Possessing a passport  that is valid for at least six months beyond the date of your scheduled return  is a fail-safe method of ensuring that you will always have legitimate, globally-accepted identification on you while you travel.

Planning far ahead

Moving on to visa matters, it is worth mentioning that it's probably a fortunate thing about most cruise trips, that they have to be booked long in advance. While the reason for this is of course due to limited space and availability, if you do have to do some leg-work in terms of organising visas, it is at least handy to be able to use this 'waiting period' to secure your travel documentation.

When booking your cruise, you will choose between a variety of itineraries offered by the cruise line company. This pre-determined itinerary will indicate exactly which countries you will visit on your cruise, and how long you will spend at each of the ports of call.

It is at this stage that you can begin to research the visa requirements for your trip. In fact, most reputable cruise companies will provide you with a letter detailing this information before finalising your booking  just remember to tell them the nationality of the passport you will be travelling on.

Specific visa requirements for cruise passengers

And this is where the question of specific visa requirements becomes a little tricky... By way of example, let's say two friends  one of whom holds a South African passport, the other an American passport  have booked a Mediterranean cruise, that will take them to Greece, Italy and Spain. The American traveller will not require a visa for this cruise, as they are allowed to spend up to three months in Schengen member states without a visa. The South African traveller, on the other hand, will have to secure a multiple-entry Schengen visa for the cruise, issued by the country in which they are due to spend the longest period of time.

However, now let's say the same two friends want to take another cruise, to Brazil. This time around, the South African traveller wouldn't require a visa for a stay of up to 90 days in the country; while the American traveller would have to secure a Brazilian tourist visa before leaving home.

A third example would see the two friends book a cruise to Syria. The travellers do their research, and discover that they both require visas to enter Syria  however, because the American friend has visited Israel in the past, and still has an Israeli tourist stamp in her passport, her visa application will be denied, while the South African's wouldn't.

Finally, it is also worth bearing in mind that some countries  such as Turkey  stipulate different visa rules for 'ordinary tourists' and cruise ship passengers. In the case of Turkey  provided that tourists enter and leave on the same ship  a 'blanket visa' will be issued to the cruise line, covering all passengers on board. In cases such as this, passengers will (ordinarily) not be allowed to spend the night off-ship, and may even be restricted to hanging around the port area.

Thus, with all the possible permutations involved, it is impossible to generate a definitive set of rules for visa requirements for cruise ship passengers. Rather, these requirements will vary according to the passenger's nationality and their itinerary.

Researching your visa requirements

The easiest way to conduct your research into the matter, of course  once you've decided on your itinerary  is simply to look up the countries you'll be visiting on the Word Travels website, and check the 'Visa and Passport' section of the respective country guides. There, you'll find accurate, up-to-date information informing you of your entry requirements.

Be wary of relying on so-called 'official websites', as often these can be out-of-date, or simply inaccurate.

Please remember that the process of applying for a visa  which, more often than not, will be done at the embassy of the country you intend on visiting, in your country of origin  can be lengthy. Ensure that you leave yourself plenty of time (at least two months) to get your documentation sorted out. It is also worth remembering that for the large majority of countries, you will be required to hold confirmation of your cruise booking  i.e. be required to show proof of onward or return travel  in order to be issued your visa.]]>
Message for Alethia - CNIhttp://forum.wordtravels.com/discussion/14981/message-for-alethia-cni
Mon, 05 Jan 2015 18:31:24 +0000World WideCaramia14981@/discussions

I noticed on another thread that you are not able to see your wall messages so I am posting here.

This is just to let you know that the Marriage to Foreigners Act 1906 was repealed on 11/12/2014 and that the Registry Office are no longer able to issue the CNI as they did in the past. The Registry Offices only became aware of this today, via email, and informed me that the FCO was now dealing with the CNIs. The FCO knew nothing about this. After having spoken to the Registrar General, it is now apparent that the Registry Office can issue a lex loci informal CNI and they will strike through the lex loci informal part and initial it. This is more than a little worrying as I am not sure if TNCs will except a document with a strike through. I can see this causing the most enormous amount of problems, especially if British Consulates/Embassies are no longer translating the "CNI" or endorsing their validity. I would appreciate your expert comment on the situation and a possible way around the problem. Many thanks.

I am currently living in Australia and i am a Banker. My Bank is giving me a promotion which i am very glad to accept. I have to travel to Spain for 2 months or so. There i will be needing Internet Service for my MAC system. I want a Dongle type thing which may not require any power. The reason i am worried is, if i buy a local Network provider Dongle in Spain that will not work in Australia i believe. So if anyone can suggest me any Service provider which provides a Dongle which will work in Spain and then in Australia as well.Note: I have a MAC system. It would be a great product if that is compatible with both MAC & Windows, Windows XP Professional.
